Thanks Brandon, that makes sense. For a masterbackend server that will probably have at most 2 clients, I don't get the feeling that striping the drives is necessary from a performance standpoint. I'm still trying to decide how to tackle the redundancy/backup issue. I'm wondering if doing this via RAID is overkill.... Rather than introduce that complication maybe I should just manually back the drives up every so often.
I go the manual route. I export my DB to another filesystem regularly and DVD+/-R the things I have archived in Divx under MythVideo (3-4 files per disk) and I don't really care much if I were to lose my recordings because it is just TV and the only thing I save long term is shows for the kids which can always be rerecorded. Implementing redundancy, raid levels, etc. in Linux seem more hastle than their worth when I can just back up what is important and live with losing the rest.
